Fly-by-wire
Auto throttle for aerospace SKF Aerospace produces throttle control parts since the beginning of commercial aircrafts. In the eighties, we developed electronic sensor units for the first fly-by-wire commercial aircraft, the Airbus A320.
For the Dassault F2000 Twin engines and the Gulfstream G200 Business Jet, we designed a "plug and play" throttle control unit integrating artificial feeling and ergonomics.
We are continuously integrating various functionalities including auto throttle and side sticks.
SKF Aerospace offers high performance mechatronics such as:
Position and force transducer units
